222's TigerDrive

What has 68 individual parts, 2 speeds (Ball-Lock Shifting), 2 motors, is smaller than Kit of Parts (KOP) single speed transmission, and appears to shift like magic?

It's the Tigertrons 2006 TigerDrive Transmission!





Main Differences from the 2004 and 2005 222 Ball-lock transmissions:

MUCH smaller in size, even smaller than the single speed transmissions included in the kit of parts.
Two CIMS instead of just one per side.
Bearing added to allow for free rotation of the "Shifting Spool"
It has less gears but nearly the same ratios.
We went from having seven gears down to six, two of which are stem pinions on the CIM motors.
Weight of the transmission housing is much lighter.
Much more simple design.
Less custom fabricated parts.
Bearings throughout instead of bushings.
Easier to build/repair/inspect.

"It's small, it's light, it's genius, it's TigerDrive , and it puts the Roar To the Floor!"
